Whats everyone using for a 5th wheel hitch for the new Ram with the prep group and puck system.The BW3600 looks good but I believe its rated for 24k lbs, more than I need. And over 200 lbs to move around.Anything in the 15-18k lb range that drop into the pucks?This is for a long bed so no need for a slider.I'm stretching my truck 22" on Wed. with a 16 LB.

Check and see if Pullrite and/or B/W make prep hitches. They have ones for the Ford prep so they probably have them for Dodge too.

So when they do the stretch, do the pucks move back also. The B&W RVK3600 is your best bet for a quality hitch. The head easily separates from the base. Curt has a chinese hitch, but the B&W is a better investment. Chris

I bought the picture frame adapter and used my TrailerSaver BD3. Pain in the tail to get it all set correctly but now it tows great. Took several hours of adjusting, installing, removing, adjusting, installing repeat, repeat, repeat that along with having to remove the "retainers" on the hitch to get the rail pins in. My previous adapter frame for the Ford was perfect. Drop in, set hitch in and slide the pins in. The Mopar branded one (rebranded Reese I believe) was a pain.

For a second I thought "that's an awfully heavy sledge hammer, and stretching the frame on an almost new truck doesn't sound very smart". Then I realized, duh, he's getting a new truck. I can't answer your question, but your post made me wake up and think a little. :)

You will not regret the B&W RVK3600. It's ROCK solid and will handle any 5er out there. Very EASY to hitch, you know for a fact you are hitched. No stupid color code to deal with. I helped an inlaw hitch his 42' BigHorn twice recently to his Curt/RAM 25K hitch and it's sure not as easy as the B&W. As Me Again mentioned they are made in China. The B&W is two parts and is not a big deal to remove and re install. As far as the Hensley air ride hitches go they are a great product. I personally would not own one until they step up and make one that would drop into the factory pucks without the picture frame adapter.
